SIMPLE CRUSTY BREAD
We thought we'd landed upon the simplest yeast bread recipe in 2007, when Mark Bittman wrote about the no-knead approach of Jim Lahey, owner of Sullivan Street Bakery. It quickly became (and remains) one of our most popular recipes because it made bakery-quality bread a real possibility for home cooks. But then we heard about Jeff Hertzberg, a physician from Minneapolis, who devised a streamlined technique for a crusty loaf of bread. Mix flour, salt, yeast and water. Let it sit a bit, refrigerate it, take some out and let it rise, then bake it. The crusty, full-flavored loaf that results may be the world's easiest yeast bread.

Steps:
- In a large bowl or plastic container, mix yeast and salt into 3 cups lukewarm water (about 100 degrees). Stir in flour, mixing until there are no dry patches. Dough will be quite loose. Cover, but not with an airtight lid. Let dough rise at room temperature 2 hours (or up to 5 hours).
- Bake at this point or refrigerate, covered, for as long as two weeks. When ready to bake, sprinkle a little flour on dough and cut off a grapefruit-size piece with serrated knife. Turn dough in hands to lightly stretch surface, creating a rounded top and a lumpy bottom. Put dough on pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal; let rest 40 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough or refrigerate it.
- Place broiler pan on bottom of oven. Place baking stone on middle rack and turn oven to 450 degrees; heat stone at that temperature for 20 minutes.
- Dust dough with flour, slash top with serrated or very sharp knife three times. Slide onto stone. Pour one cup hot water into broiler pan and shut oven quickly to trap steam. Bake until well browned, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the water, sugar and yeast. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the flour and salt then knead with the dough hook for 5 minutes.
- The dough will be slightly sticky but shouldn't be wet. If it is, add 1-2 tbsp flour and knead in.
- Bring the dough together into a ball with your hand. Dust over 1-2 tbsp flour (you want it to be well covered).
- Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour until doubled in size. Leaving the dough in a warm spot will aid the rising.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Place a pot (dutch oven) with a lid into the oven to preheat.
- When the dough has proved, turn it out onto a floured surface. Fold the edges into the center of the dough then place into a floured bowl, seam side down. Dust over more flour.
- Cover with the tea towel and allow to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pot from the oven and remove the lid. Transfer the dough to the pot and cover with the lid.
- Place in the oven and allow to bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the bread is golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes (or until it has cooled to room temperature) before slicing and serving.

CRUSTY HOMEMADE BREAD - WITH VARIATIONS
When I saw this in my TOH magazine knew I had to try it, only 5 ingredients in the basic recipe and the result is a lovely crusty outer and a pillowy soft inside. The house smelled awesome while it was baking, DH has officially decided that other than sourdough - this is his all time favorite. So try it plain, stud it with cheese or fold in orange peel and cranberries - your family is sure to love it. Be sure to plan ahead as it sits in the fridge overnight. Prep time does not include rising

YOUR OWN CRUSTY FRENCH BREAD
My father got this recipe some 40+ years ago at TWA. Crusty yet chewy outside - melt in your mouth inside. Smear with garlic butter and watch it disappear! I've taken a photo showing the bread in the hand formed foil baking pans, this is the 2nd rise. Final picture is fresh out of the oven.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in very warm water.
- Stir well.
- Let proof for 10 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups of the flour, sugar and salt until mixture is smooth; gradually beat in enough of the remaining 5 cups flour to make stiff dough.
- (Kitchen Aid is perfect for this).
- Turn out onto lightly floured pastry cloth or board and knead 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding only enough more flour to keep dough from sticking.
- Return to bowl; brush top with soft shortening or oil and cover with clean towel or plastic wrap.
- Let rise till double in bulk in warm place away drafts (approximately 45-60 minutes).
- Punch dough down; cover; let rise again for 30 minutes (again in warm place away from drafts) or until double in bulk.
- While dough rises, make boat shaped baking pans as follows:.
- Tear off 3 twenty-inch-long sheets of heavy aluminum foil.
- Fold in sides of foil approximately 1"-1 1/2" on all 4 sides to form baking pan, this will allow the bread to rise up and not spread out into a flat shaped loaf by folding the short ends together to seal, pressing thumb inside to round slightly (shape into boat)with shortest ends slightly rounded.
- Spray with PAM and sprinkle lightly with corn meal.
- Punch dough down, knead 1 minute on lightly floured pastry cloth or board.
- Divide dough into thirds.
- Roll out with the palm of your hands to a rope approximately 18 inches long; place in prepared foil pan.
- Repeat with remaining two-thirds dough.
- Make 3-4 evenly spaced shallow cuts diagonally in the top of each loaf; brush with warm water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Cover with clean towel and let rise in warm place away from drafts till double in bulk (approx. 30 min).
- Preheat oven to 450º.
- Place dish (I use an old aluminum pie plate) on lower shelf of oven and fill half way with hot tap water.
- Slide loaves on shelf above water.
- Bake for 15 minutes in 450º oven; reduce heat to 350º and bake 30 minutes longer.
- Bread is done when tapped and gives a hollow sound.
- Remove immediately from pans and let cool on cooling racks.
- Slice bread- spread each side with garlic butter- reassemble bread loaf and return to foil pans.
- Unfold edges to cover and warm in low oven (325º) till butter melts into bread.
- Serve warm.
